I'm sure the dealers care ( about $$ ) the reality is you have apprentice techs with little experience servicing your brand new bike. Those guys get paid little, dealership charges you lots, no different than any other dealership, car bike whatever. Sometimes it bites them in the ***!

`Gonna find out just how good my dealer`s service dept. is when they finish this warranty job. So far they have been great, though.

My dealership has a revolving door of techs, and for good reason I suspect. Almost every time I've had them work on my bike, it left the shop with more problems than it had when it went in
